Sleep and BP: Sleep disturbances such as sleep disordered breathing or sleep apnea commonly cause blood pressure elevation. Anxiety can too, as can caffeine (in coffee tea sodas or chocolate). This is a big question and can't be thoroughly addressed in this little space. It may be worth a consultation.

See answer: Difficulty falling asleep is often due to anxiety, while trouble mainly with early awakening is due to depression. Go to my CHECKLIST: Overcoming Anxiety and Stress for advice which I think will be very helpful. The following sites will also be very helpful: > http://bit.ly/1BBVVRw and http://bit.ly/1H64Naf
